Do you have Honey Crisp Apples and are they available for pick your own?

We do have honey crisp but, they are not available for pick your own. Honey Crisp Apples do not all rippen at the same time. Therefore the ripe apples have to be harvested on time and put into cold storage. If mature fruit is left on the tree it will turn to Honey Mush. Contact us and we will give the Honey Crisp sales information.

When are your strawberries ready to pick and can we pick our own?

When is Cider Day?

Cider Day is the 9th of October from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Beginning in 2015, due to Department of Public Health rules, the public will no longer be able to bring and fill their own containers with cider. New plastic containers will need to be purchased from us here at Hinegardner's Orchard.

What other products do you grow besides apples and strawberries?

Honey?

Bees are essential for apple production. I do not like honey bees and they do not like me. We rent 24 swarms of bees during pollination from Phil Ebert of Linnville, Iowa. We sell Ebert Honey here at the orchard during normal business hours.
